Ms Harris raised more donations in one day than any other candidate in history: $81 million. A lot of this was down to the support of Black people who rallied behind her in record time, bringing nuff money with them.
There are many excited citizens in the birth lands of her parents, both subjects of former British colonies, who are eager to remind one and all of the expectant US president's heritage. Laying claim, you know?
Yes, there appears to be a great deal of anticipation for her success in this race, as well as scepticism in light of her support for Biden's policy on Gaza and record on criminal justice.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has found a worthy opponent in Ms Harris, the Labour MP hastened to add.
"Like Kamala Harris, I know what it's like to be dismissed as an unqualified diversity hire," Ms Abbott writes in reference to her tenure as shadow home secretary from 2016-2020.
"She is well qualified for the role, a good deal better qualified than Trump himself. She is a top-level prosecutor and Trump is a convicted felon. I doubt if he will want to debate her – but, if they do go head-to-head on live TV, she will eviscerate him."
